Alright, after much discussion between the team, we have decided that we need to specify some ground rules for avatars.  This is to prevent us from having troubles with our web host (which does not allow over a certain percentage of "pornographic" content over the site as a whole), as well as to help make this a safer place for those of us browsing from our workplace.  If your avatar does not meet these guidelines, we will eventually remove it (this is to give you some time to be able to remove it after reading this message).

Heres some basic guidelines to help you out on what we want to NOT have in the avatar (or signatures for that matter).
1. If it has only panties and a bra on, or less, it most likely isn't appropriate.
2. If it has a subject matter regarding something illegal, it most likely isn't appropriate.
3. Use common sense.  If you would get fired by your boss for having a picture of it in your workspace at work, its probably not appropriate.

I would like to state, NSFW POSTS ARE ALLOWED.  We just do not need that type of content on EVERY post you make in every section of the site in the form of your avatar (or signature).

If you have any questions, feel free to message me privately, or post here.

Sorry Alex. I was outvoted on this matter... the days of the RAPE avatar are coming to an end.

Even the rape avatar has to come down? Alex has been rocking the rape avatar for awhile now. I mean some members here literally remember him not as eternalswap but "the guy with the flashing rape avatar".

I'm conflicted about the rape avatar.
It's not NSFW... but it soooooooo brings attention to itself...

I bolded the exact reason why now, Alex's avatar will have to change soon. And I underlined a secondary reason that may or may not exist for everyone's workplace, but will certainly exist for some workplaces.

Sorry Alex. Like I said, it wasn't my vote, but I'm gonna uphold the group decision on this.

EternalSwapNov 9, 2010, 11:35 pm · #14

rape isnt illegal EVERYWHERE. just in the usa. and some other countries

JayNov 9, 2010, 11:38 pm · #15

Just make your sig "I'm the guy with the flashing rape avatar"
it would be funny enough. especially for new guys/gals who never saw it

EternalSwapNov 9, 2010, 11:56 pm · #16

Irfanview is win, yes?

JayNov 10, 2010, 12:33 am · #20

I did it for him in CS5
;)

I guess it should also be mentioned.
If your going to put up a NSFW post, Please put that in the topic title. It would be greatly appreciated

EternalSwapNov 10, 2010, 1:01 am · #21

yeah jay did it for me <3
btw, new sig quote coming soon. like when my internet decides to let me

sam31183Nov 10, 2010, 3:21 am · #22

i <3 the erap banner....its total win.

XanoNov 10, 2010, 5:35 am · #23

I actually wasnt thinking about words when I wrote that, just to kinda clarify.  Though "epar" is a win in my book, its not instantly recognizable.

EternalSwapNov 10, 2010, 12:56 pm · #24

yay, the cs12 admin/ moderation team loves me

sideways_s12Nov 10, 2010, 5:19 pm · #25

ProlowtoneDec 3, 2010, 1:49 am · #34

Damn i just woke up in my pitch dark room. I scrolled down to turn on my comp, then i was hit by a flash and became suddenly wide awake! Is it just me or does the center of that thing seem to move with the direction you do while the rest stays normal...

David BDec 3, 2010, 6:24 am · #35
